Vegetarian Hungarian Paprikás (Vegetable Stew with Dumplings)

Hey foodies! I missed you so much! Sorry for the long, long break but I had so much work to do; 4 big websites in less than 2 weeks, yep.. no time for cooking. I've been eating eggs for breakfast and eggs again for lunch and dinner. I don't think I'll eat eggs for a long time now.

The recipe below was taught to me but my mom. It is a spicy Hungarian recipe that I love! My grandma used to make this when I was little but she added chicken also. The original recipe contains meat but this is the vegetarian, healthier version.

P.S.  ..if you need a website let me know! Here's my portfolio. My website is currently in construction because I want to change the whole design.

Hearty Veggie Soup – perfect for cold winter days!

 I was desperately craving for a delicious hearty soup to warm me inside out and so I decided to make this easy veggie soup which is just perfect for a snowy day! I guarantee you that you’ll love it! Even my boyfriend, who is very picky when it comes to soups, said that this was one of my best soup recipes.

This recipe is really easy to make. The only annoying part is when you have to peel the garlic cloves...arrrgh...I really hate it! But it’s worth it ‘cause you’ll love the subtle garlic flavor. Unfortunately I didn’t have any fresh herbs (that’s why I don’t like winter!! Less fresh veggies...) and I’m sure it would have been perfect with some fresh parsley on top. I also used some frozen celery leaves which are basically as good as fresh ones.

About the veggie mix... use any kind of veggie mix you like but try to use one that is as healthy as possible – low in salt and free of monoglutamate monosodium/ E621; It is ideal to have a homemade condiment mix so when the summer comes make sure you don’t forget to sundry some vegetables and prepare yourself an awesome-good-for-everything veggie mix :)

Do you know what's in your fruits and veggies juices? 

This is a very nice study made by Dr. Robert Sandor, which tells you what amount of water, sugar and how many calories are in your juices.

I love natural fruit juices! They're perfect for breakfast because they give you an energy boost almost instantly and also they're full of vitamins and antioxidants which will give you a glow that lasts all day!

About calories...I don't count them! I just eat what I consider healthy and that's enough for me, but for those of you who count them this infographic below can be very useful.
